War Crimes Are Being Committed in Iraq
International humanitarian law requires that warring parties not indiscriminately attack civilians or the infrastructure on which they depend to live. Likewise, attacks designed to spread terror amongst civilians are not permitted.
Today the US, UK and other forces launched a massive air strike against Iraq as part of the US military plan, "shock and awe." In the first 48 hours of this attack some 3,000 precision-guided missiles will be fired at or near Baghdad, a densely populated city of 5.6 million. In Afghanistan, these weapons had a maximum success rate of 85%, indicating that at least some 200 missiles will miss their targets daily and result in the indiscriminate deaths of innocent civilians.
These tactics are illegal under the Geneva Convention as well as under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Baghdad blast 'kills 58 civilians'
TIM RIPLEY AT US CENTRAL COMMAND AND EDWARD BLACK
ALMOST 60 civilians were killed and dozens injured in an air strike on a Baghdad market in the largest loss of life during the allied military campaign so far, Iraqi authorities reported last night. The bombing, which was said to have claimed many young victims, came just two days after 14 civilians died when another shopping area in Baghdad was hit. Although the allies have yet to accept responsibility for either attack, shocking images of dead and injured civilians are a major blow to military strategists as they hunker down for a long campaign. As commanders on both sides of the Atlantic yesterday conceded that the campaign was in some difficulty, The Scotsman was told that Tony Blair, the Prime Minister, is considering plans to deploy 5,000 more British troops to reinforce security around Basra. The Ministry of Defence has sent plans to Downing Street to fly out a brigade of infantry, which could include men from the Perth-based 51st (Scottish) Brigade, to help British forces to fight off guerrilla attacks. US officers in the field are now said to be talking about a pause in the ground advance, while allied air power takes out Iraqi tanks and armour in central Iraq. They have admitted it could be as long as a month before an assault on Baghdad is launched.....
"Most of the injured are children and are in very serious condition," said hospital director Dr Haqi Ismail Razouq.
